Two Persons Killed.

AUGUSTA, Ga, September 1S.-A ne
gro woman and child were run over by
the down train on the Port Royal Road
yesterday afternoon and both we're in.
stantly killed. The accident was most
peculiar one. There is steep grade for
along distance on this side of Martins
Station, and, of course, in going down it,
all trains run very rapidly. About one
and half miles this side of Martins
the engineer saw negro woman leading
8 child by the hand in cut some distance
ahead. The train was going at head!ong
speed, and the engineer quickly reversed
his engine and put on brakes, but the
grade was 80 steep that the speed of the
train was not perceptibly checked. The
woman looked back and saw it was in.
slant death unless she got out of the cut
very quickly. Not seeming to think OF
lying down on the side of the track she
clupg to the child's hand and tried to out.
run the engine, but to no purpose, for
hardly had she taken dozen steps be-
fore the mammoth machine struck her
and the child, terribly mangling them
and producing instant death. The en-.
gineef could not stop his engine in long
distance, but when he did so, backed to
the scene of the accident where he was
thorrifed to find that the bodies of both
woman and child had been mashed and
mangled into unrecognizable shapes.
The bodies were turned over to the
,woman's husband, who, at his house a
short distance from the place of the
accident, had witnessed the death of his
wife and child.

Coming to Life.

ABBEv1LLE, Sept 17.-The Caroliua,
Cumberland Gap and Chicago Railroad
is again showing signs of life. W. Fl.
'Schofeld, Jr., and others are here on
their way from Aiken over the route
North, inspecting the line, investigating
the condition of the subscriptions voted
by this and other municipalities along
the proposed line of the road, and
acquiring other information in regard to
the road. Very little seems to be known
of their object, as usual. Many of our
people have lost all faith in the concern
and look with suspicion or with very lit.
tie favor on any movements in it's behalf,
while others, recognizing the msgnifi-
cence of the scheme and the great value
of the road if it couAl only be built, are
disposed to hope for better prospects for
the road and at least to look charitably
on the efforts made by the promoters of
the enterprise. Mr.. Schofeld and his
companion spent a good deal of their
time here in leisurely examining our town
and its environs. A local wag suggests
that they want to buy the town for
depot site. ! understand they are wait.
ing here for President Bowen to join

Tie Sorghum Experiment.

Commissioner Colman again grows
enthusiastic over the experiments made
at Fort Scott, Kansas, to obtain sugar
from sorghum, or Chinese sugar. cane, by
the diffusion process. He claims that
recent trials at that point have been far
more successful than those previously
reported, and that the industry can be
made to pay handsomely. If bis con.
clusions are correct, sorghum may
become the salvation of the sorely
pressed farmers and planters of Mary
land and adjoining states. The staples
now cultivated in this vicinity scarcely
pay expenses, and it is rapidly becoming
a serious question if the owners Of the
arabic land can continue the present
system. It has happened heretofore that
those who have experimental with sor-
ghum have allowed their zeal to outrun
their discretion; hence, farmers will be

Spying Out the Land.

EDaEF1ELD, September 15.-Dr. T. G.
Croft, of Aiken, MIR. George Potts, Z. s.
Bullock and W. H. Scofeld, Jr., of New
York the latter three representing q
railroad construction company of that
city, are here to day.
They are direct from Aiken, having
travelled through the country and over
the proposed route of the Carolina, Cum.
berland Gap and Chicago Railroad,
their purpose being to examine the con.
dition of the roadbed already graded, and
to obtain general knowledge of the
character of the country through which
the road is to run, having special regard
to it's natural resources to feed and aid in
support of a road. 1t is the intention of
these gentlemen to- make thorough b
inspection of the route and the proceed
ings under which township. taxes have
been voted in aid of the road, and if they
become satisfied that the tax is bona
Gde (of which there can be but one
opinion) and with the. character of the
country, then contract between their
company and W. 81. Scofeld, the fnan-
cial agent of the Gap Road will be
entered into for the building of the
South Carolina division by fixed time.
They go from this point to Abbeville.
The coming of these gentlemen into our
midst has awakened the interest and
strengthened the confidence of our peo.
Pile in the building of this road, and
their business like way of talking and
doing things leaves the impression and
fastens the belief that they are here for q
purpose and, if possible, will carry it into
execution.
Edgefeld has been in need of road
80 long that she would be satisfied with
almost any line, but the Carolina Gap is
the one most desired. This road, besides
giving US better travelling facilities, will
throw us into direct communication with
Charleston and the West, thereby secur-
ing better and cheaper markets. 1t
traverses the centre of the county and
will develop the country and open up
new industries.
The towns and townships along this
line have voted a heavy subsidy in aid of
building the road, and our people are
willing, anxious and ready to redeem
any pledge or obligation provided road
is secured. We look with favor upon
this new project to build the Carolina
Gap Road, and shall watch future devel.
opments with deep and hopeful interest.

Poisoned By Cigarettes.

Walter Bierce, q young man of IL,
whose home is at Gloversville, had q close
call yesterday. He is addicted to ciga.
rettes, and took advantage of his visit to
this city to enjoy himself to his fullest
capacity, smoking several packages q
day. Of late he has complained at times
of,feeling drowsy, and thought the. ciga-
rettes did not agree with him. The
sequel shows that they did not. Yester-
day after breakfast he smoked about
fifteen, and then went into the parlor of
his aunt,s house on Central avenue to lie
down. When called for dinner he was
found in. an unconscious state, with his
body perfectly rigid. The frightened
family called in DR.. Schill, who recog-
,nized the symptoms, and after working
over the victim for several. hours got him
in partially normal condition. The
doctor says the young man will recover,
and the young man says he is done with
cigarettes.-Al6any Ezpress.

A Fortune in a Doctors Bill.

The New York Times has the follows
ing: The admirers Of Samuel j. Tilden,
who took pleasure in proclainling on
every possible occason that he possessed
moro JefIersonian simplicity than any
man of his weight in che country, were
of course unaware that he owed doc.
tors bill of $4,000. A bill of such
magnificent, not to say startling, proper.
tions and Jefersonian simplicity could
not possibly run double. For the pur-
pose of supporting the Sage's reputation
for simplicity some of lis admirers may
argue that Mr.. Tilden may not have
been aware that be owed so many bags of
gold for medical attendance and ap0the-
cary's wares. The trustees of his estate,
it is understood, take this view of the
matter, and the impression among the
few people who know anything about it
is that the coming century will be con-
siderably advanced before such bill is
paid at the face.
One of the trustees looked surprised
Yesterday afternoon when asked if pay.
ment had heen refused of the bill pre-.
sented by DR.. Chas. E. Simmons for
medical service and attendance upon Mr..
Tilden. Instead of. giving plain and
satisfactory answer to the question the
trustee said that DR.. Simmons was the
proper person whom to get information
on such subject. Then, of course, the
reporter gratefully accepted the state.
ment that the matter was a private, not
q public one. The trustees would not
say that payment Of DR.. Simmons bill
had been refused, but he smiled when
the amount, S143, 5000, was mentioned.
DR.. Simmons, who is also commits.
sioner of charities and correction, was
more willing to talk than the trustee had
been. He talked all around the bill, but
never mentioned the amount. The lat.
ter was stated to him, but even then he
failed to deny or affirm that the figures
we're correct. He promptly denied that
any payment had been paid. Any delay
in the matter should be ascribed to him,
/: he said, and not to the trustees of the
Tilden estate. Without giving the
amount of his bill, DR.. Simmons explain
ed how bill could reach very large
proportions. he had attended Mr.. Til.
den, he said, for eight years, or to be
exact, for seven years and eleven months.
During that period he had visited Mr..
Tilden every day, probably. He aas
Mr.. Tilden's friend as we'll as his physi-
ciau, and considered Mr.. Tilden his best
friend. Mr.. Tilden had always done
everything in his power for him and his.
Being on such terms of intimacy, it
seemed natural that settlement should
be deferred. 1t was postponed to such
an extent that Mr.. Tlden died without
making one. DR.. Simmons said q settle
ment would be reached without any
trouble when the proper time arrived.
He and the trustees would meet and
adjust the matter. He, too, was unable
to see why the public should be particu.
larly interested in his bill until he was
assured it was solely on account of its
size. About that he had nothing to say,
nor did he offer the reporter a copy of
the bill.

The Rock Hill CowhfdIng.

Rock HILL, Sept. IA church
court was held here yesterday to consider
the case of Rev. E. G. Price, the Metho'
dist minister, accused of slandering the
sister of j. 8. Johnson, a young druggist
of this place, who publicly cowhided the
reverend gentleman therefor, just as he
was about to take the train to join lady
to whom he Was to be married, and to
whom he has since been welded. The
decision of the court is that the minister
be suspended from his holy Office for the
four months next ensuing, which will
allow his case to come before the general
Methodist Conference which meets at
about that time, before he will again be
allowed to officiate as pastor.
